The Symbols of terrorism on blue planet

Forbes magazine published first time the list of top ten criminals of the world. The listing was done by thorough consultations with the experts. Forbes.com claimed to have consulted law enforcement agencies in the US and around the world to identify the top ten. In 1950, The Federal Bureau of Investigation also published a list of ten Most Wanted Fugitives list but an international most wanted list by Forbes.com makes more sense now than ever given the current state of globalized crime. Criminals included in this list are all history sheaters and accused of committing serious crimes. They are a dangerous menace to the world.
